27 thoughts on “New features in super-wingpanel”

There have been some changes recently. I’ve removed most of the latest features from the stable version of wingpanel because they were causing issues for a number of people. If you want the latest features (such as global menu) you’ll need to add the daily ppa with the command at the top of this post.

I just installed the latest daily-ppa version of super-wingpanel, which is awesome btw(!), with Global Menu addition. Changed the dconf and Cerbere setting, logged out and in again, but the Global Menu is still on the right (so wrong for me 😉 ) side.

If you still have both the stable and the unstable PPAs added, the software updater will pull from whichever PPA has the highest version number. Currently I believe the stable PPA has a higher number so you’ll need to remove the stable PPA, then uninstall and re-install super-wingpanel.

I just installed this and it works, but…
1 – The global menu is placed to the right od the clock instead of right next to the “Application Launcher”
2 – The order of menu entries is reversed (e.g. it’s “Help, Tools, History, View, Edit, Files” instead of “Files, Edit, View, etc…”)

Hi,
I come from http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/01/global-menu-elementaryos-luna/ where someone posted and linked your work.
Super-wingpanel was working fine but after an update/reboot it stopped working properly and started ignoring some of the dconf entries (like indicator order, clock placement) and globalmenu appears backwards (help, tools–>file).
I’m not the only one with this issue, as some other people in the post I linked before get the same errors.

Just to let you know that your global menu bar was working correctly after installation but now I have an inversed menu on the right of the clock.
It happened when I enter this command to fix chromium button disposition :
gconftool-2 –set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout –type string “:minimize,maximize,close”
Before this the menu was correctly on the left of the screen.
Can’t find yet how to fix it.

An other question, how do you to use an Images/Styling for the Applications button? I downloaded your nice icons but I don’t know how to apply them.

Thanks for that! Anyway, is it possible to remove the app name in the left corner (like PANTHEON-TERMINAL/…)? The problem is then when using Ninja or other IDE, it displays not only “NINJA-IDE” but also the whole path to the file that is being edited in Ninja. In other words, the panel gets populated by file name and the whole menu is unusable. Checkbox “Show app name in wingpanel” would solve this.

If you want to use an image, just put the full path to the image file in the Launcher Text Override box. In the latest versions (both stable and unstable) it should automatically show the image if the path is valid. In older versions you may have to restart the panel for the image to appear.

Is there any way of speeding up the animation of Intellislim and Intellihide? Now it feels out of sync with the rest of elementary and plank especially (slower). In general I have animations set to about 100-150 ms. Would like super-wingpanel to do things around 100ms as well! Otherwise awesome stuff, good job!

Hi,
I was a big fan of super-wingpanel back in the Luna days! Any chance it will be revived for Loki? Would be wonderful!
Maybe publishing it in AppCenter, as a pay-what-you-want-app, could even sponsor you some coffees 😉
